Abstract
This document gives formatting instructions for authors preparing papers for publication in the International
Journal of Current Engineering and Technology. The authors must follow the instructions given in the document for
the papers to be published. You can use this document as both an instruction set and as a template into which you
can type your own text.
Keywords: The author can include 5-7 words like Thermal Analysis, Pre-conditioner, In-mold, Inoculant’s efficiency.
1. Introduction
This document is a template. An electronic copy can be
downloaded from the INPRESSCO website. For
questions on paper guidelines, please contact
editor.ijcet @inpressco.com or the author can visit the
website for the guidelines.
We use 10 point Cambria Font and the font size
must not be changed. The authors are required to
format their article according to this.
Please see the reference citing style i.e. how the
references are to be written as described below.
INPRESSCO uses the reference style as: (author’s
name et al, Year of publication). An example is give
below.
A cooling curve is a plot of temperature as a
function of time for a sample of an alloy poured into a
standardized mould with a thermocouple usually
positioned in the center (Warsinsk, 1975). Depending
on the sampling rate of the data, the cooling curve can
be represented and the first derivative can be
accurately calculated (Backerud, et al, 1975). Invention
and introduction of thermal analysis in casting
production has brought a comprehensive evaluation of
melt iron quality. Research has shown that the shape of
the cooling curve measured by thermal couple
mounted in the thermal analysis sample cup reflects
the solidification process of iron melt in the cup (Zhu
and Smith, 1995) .Measuring the shape of the cooling
curve will give comprehensive information about the
melting and treatments quality thereby the properties
and microstructure could be predicted (Labrecque and
Gagne, 1998), (Chisamera, et al, 2009) , (Riposan, et al
2003).
Thermal analysis can be used to determine inoculants
performance, apart from the traditional usage of
thermal analysis to determine the percentage of carbon
equivalent liquidus, carbon and silicon levels, it can
also be used to monitor metallurgical processes and
identify potential problems areas such as low nodule
count, under-cooled graphite and carbide/chill
propensity (Udroiu, 2002), (Corneli, et al, 2004),
(Seidu, 2008). It can be used to predict iron shrinkage
tendency and help the foundry to control scrap.
2. Placing the figures
All the figures must be placed in the column wise,
however the authors can use single column to place big
figures provided that the template formatting must not
change. The title of the figure is to be placed below the
figures as shown.
Note: Please note the figures must be placed in in line
with text mode, not in any other Wrap mode. Also, the
figures must not be inserted into tables.

2.1 Placing the graphs
The graphs must be properly drawn in MS excel. Please
note that all the legends should be drawn in the MS
excel single file. They are not to be inserted in MS Word
which will affect the formatting of the template. Care
should also be taken to keep the font as Cambria. As
the default font in Excel is Calibri. So the graphs by
default take it. The authors are required to keep the
font as Cambria. The graphs must be in line with text
and are not be placed in any other wrap mode
2.2 Using and placing the equations
Please not that all the equations must be written in in
Microsoft equation 3.0 or above versions. Click Insert
and under Object you will find the Microsoft equation
3.0. Type all your equations here. Do not paste
equations from any other file. Equations appearing as
images will not be considered .Such equations are not
clear when the paper is converted in pdf. An example
of Microsoft equation 3.0 is given as under.

Please note that the properties of the equations must
not be locked
3. Placing the tables
It should be noted that all the tables must be firstly
drawn in Excel and after that they should be placed in
your article. The heading of the table should be above
the table. An example is given as under.
Note: Please note the tables must be placed in in line
with text mode, not in any other Wrap mode. Also, the
figures must not be inserted into tables

Conclusions
The authors can write the conclusion as a whole in a
paragraph or by making points. An example is given as
under.
1) Derivatives of the cooling curve can be used to
understand the small changes in the
undercooling of the liquidus and solidus
temperature.
2) Thermal analysis is a good technique to control
carbides, shrinkage and micro-shrinkage
formation.
3) It is visibly shown that there is significant
reduction in undercooling degree on the alloys and
the value of inoculation index was increased.
Although the addition of Al,Ca,Zr-FeSi pre-
conditioners gives no significant influence .
4) The use of relative performance makes a clear
distinction of the alloys efficiency and could be
concluded that Ca,RE,S,O-FeSi inoculated iron gave
the most influence.
5) From the result obtained, it could be deduced
comparatively that Ca,RE,S,O-FeSi inoculant give
the best efficiency followed by Ca,Zr-FeSi and
Ca,Ba-FeSi inoculants respectively.
